You can play Overwatch without paying for it from 6am AEDT on February 17 and will conclude on Monday morning.

The game's various modes in Quick Play, Arcade, and even Custom Games will all be accessible.

What makes this particular free-to-play weekend special is that players will be able to catch a glimpse of some of the patch notes that came along with the Lunar New Year event, which runs until March 5.

When trying to game out this weekend, new players will be able to grab the event's temporarily-available skins. The same goes for loot boxes, which you'll be earning at every level up.

From February 16-19, we're calling on all prospective agents: assemble your teams and dive in during the Overwatch Free Weekend on PC, PlayStation 4, or Xbox One!
